It is reported that Imām Abū Dāwūd Al-Sijistānī – Allah have mercy on him – said:
Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal never used to involve himself in the things of this world that people involved themselves in; but when knowledge was mentioned, he would speak. Ibn Al-Jawzī Ṣifatu Al-Ṣafwah 2:519.

He would never occupy himself with other people’s affairs; all his attention was towards knowledge. Al-Dhahabī, Siyar A’lām Al-Nubalā` 12:449
